It had been listed as one of Shakespeare's comedies but it didn't strike me as humorous. In fact, despite The play starts with the young prince of Tyre, Pericles, searching for a bride. He visits a neighboring kingdom but unfortunately the beautiful daughter of the king is in an incestuous relationship with her father. Pericles flees upon discovering that secret but the king sends an assassin after him. After this disturbing opening, Pericles undergoes various adventures, mostly standard fare. Later in the play is another worrisome section, I guess it was considered a comedy because it didn't end with a bunch of dead bodies! Pericles, called Prince and King interchangeably, goes to win the hand of a princess and finds that the king is unwilling to let his daughter go because they are in an incestuous relationship. He plays a game with each courting prince, asking them a riddle that ends in the young man's death. Pericles catches on pretty quickly and escapes across the waters, but the king sends a man to follow and kill Pericles to keep him from exposing the king's secret. Pericles goes on to survive shipwrecks and lost love. His daughter experiences kidnapping and slavery. Yet, because this has a happy ending, it may be included as a comedy. Scholars generally agree that Shakespeare probably wrote exactly half of this play. Not one of Bill's best plays, and often dismissed as being largely by other people, nonetheless, the play is included in the canon. Pericles, noble and virtuous, discovers his king Antiochus has an incestuous relationship with his own daughter. The king being aware of this, Pericles must flee home to tyre. However, after outliving Antiochus Pericles desires to return to court, but his family is shattered by a shipwreck. Years later they are at last reunited. This play has no connection with Hellenistic history other than the names of some of the principals. the play is usually dated to 1606 or thereabouts. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) est considA(c)rA(c) comme la(TM)un des plus grand poA]tes, dramaturges et A(c)crivains de la culture anglo-saxonne. Il est rA(c)putA(c) pour sa maA(R)trise des formes poA(c)tiques et littA(c)raires; sa capacitA(c) A reprA(c)senter les aspects de la nature humaine est souvent mise en avant par ses amateurs. Figure A(c)minente de la culture occidentale, Shakespeare continue da(TM)influencer les artistes da(TM)aujourda(TM)hui. Il est traduit dans un grand nombre de langues et ses piA]ces sont rA(c)guliA]rement jouA(c)es partout dans le monde. Shakespeare est la(TM)un des rares dramaturges A avoir pratiquA(c) aussi bien la comA(c)die que la tragA(c)die. Shakespeare A(c)crivit trentesept oeuvres dramatiques entre les annA(c)es 1580 et 1613.

It is as though they had a half-decent idea and the right ingredients, but just could not get the bread to rise. I say 'they', for it is clear that the debate over whether Shakespeare was the sole author of Pericles is not a debate at all. He was not the sole author. The first Act in particular is clumsy beyond belief, and though Shakespeare has stumbled before, he has never been this. It is quite evidently not him, and the scholarship that Pericles was a collaboration is rather advanced. I usually see such discussions over disputed authorship in Shakespeare's plays as irrelevant (and, in the case of the Earl of Oxford, obnoxiously baseless), but it's staggeringly obvious in Pericles.
And, what's more, there's little else to discuss: the play is lacking in depth or coherence and what it does effectively has been done much better by Shakespeare elsewhere. The only interesting question Pericles really poses is why Shakespeare persevered with it. Whether a favour to a friend or peer, an example of the sunk cost fallacy, or an experiment that ended in an honest failure, the result is nevertheless the same: a failure. ( )
